Gaia Divine Feminine Garden-- Watercolor Style

Details

Created: Tuesday, 01 May 2018 08:00

Over the past nine years that I've had the honor and pleasure to work with Katie on her tattoos, I've really enjoyed her calm yogini demeanor and open style of communication, amongst her many other lovely qualities. An educator, she's articulate and does her research without prompting. She also gives me tons of space in terms of design and execution, which is fairly rare. Plus, she's got a great laugh! This year, we're working on her torso, creating connecting tattoos (front and back) invoking the Divine Feminine, Gaia/Mother Earth, all things growing and transforming, planting the seeds for change. When I asked if I could use these new projects to explore the "watercolor" style of tattooing, which I had limited experience with, she was happily enthusiastic. She even sent me the poem that inspired her. Click on the Read more link to see the drawing, outline, and final color photos.

Hamsa Transformation

Michael wanted to cover up an old tattoo that he had gotten on his left forearm-- a marker of where he was in his life at that time. Having outgrown that relationship, he was ready for something new and was thinking the Hamsa symbol for protection would be a prefect cover up image. He says, "My experience with Floating Lotus Tattoo was perfect. I first met with Victoria to discuss what I wanted to cover my old tattoo with and we scheduled a date to start on the project. She drew up exactly what I wanted better than I imagined it. After two sessions, my old tattoo was gone and I had this fantastic new piece on my arm. I have already received plenty of compliments on it. Her work is amazing, and her cover up formula works so well! Thank you, Victoria for completing my tattoo so perfectly!"

Lotus Shoulders

Last year in the fall, Kham came in to see me about some keloid scars she had on her shoulders. She didn't have any ink, but was hoping that we could tattoo some lotuses over the scars, after she read my Cover Up Tattoos article (see main menu.) I told her that keloid scars may or may not take ink and it's always a bit of a risk tattooing them. But if she was willing to take the leap, we might do something lovely over them. We started on her right shoulder, which had fewer scars, and now just finished up her left shoulder. Click on the Read more link to see the drawing, before, outline, and final color photos.

My Studio

After apprenticing in 2005, getting my license and working in a couple of different tattoo shops, I opened my own private tattoo studio, Floating Lotus Tattoo Studio, in 2010. Thanks to: my family, friends and amazing clients for all of your support. I couldn't have done it without you.

The space is small but cozy, completely private and located in inner SE Portland OR, near OMSI, in the red and gray ActivSpace SE building.
